Training courses by the University of Cambridge

The Centre for Technology Management (CTM) engages in research, teaching and practical application of new ideas based on an integrated understanding of science, engineering and business management. By working with organisations at all stages of technological development, we aim to provide comprehensive support from early stage exploration, through multi-business unit technology strategy to end-of-life issues. Based within the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM), at the University of Cambridge's Engineering Department (CUED), we are part of a multi-disciplinary research organisation covering a range of issues from technology through management to policy.

CTM has an international reputation in the field of technology and innovation management, notable in particular for the strong industrial relevance of its research. Our research portfolio spans the spectrum of frameworks, models, processes, tools, techniques and practices for identifying, selecting, acquiring, exploiting and protecting technology for business benefit.

Problem-based learning is a key feature of CTM's executive education courses, where group-based activities and discussion provide an opportunity to put learning into practice. Course modules draw on extensive research, teaching and practical experience gained by the CTM over more than 15 years of collaboration with industry in many sectors. Course tutors have both broad and deep knowledge of the material gained through active research and tool development, combined with experiences from industrial application and deployment through consulting.
